Wireless keyboard with touchpad for mac mini

I recently bought a mac mini to use as a media pc. didnt get any keyboard and mouse because i want to use a wireless keyboard with a touchpad built in. there are some good ones out there i know...logitech edge but its too expensive for me.

I have looked at some dell and generic brands but my question is will they work with a mac mini? and will the touchpad hold well?

that's what i'm going to use the mini for and this is the keyboard that everyone seems happiest with

I'm thinking of the following for my upcoming mini-in-the-living room purchase. Anyone have experience with it? Does it look from the description like it would do the job well? How do I map a command button?

I have one of the new MacMinis myself and use the Logitech Bluetooth MeidaBoard Pro on it. It's wonderful and works quite well (I'm typing this using that keyboard). The mouse functions fine and the keyboard overall is great. Most of the media buttons along the top even work in Front Row. The only complaint I have so far is that, while I remapped the Alt key to Command, where the Alt key on a Mac keyboard should be there are left and right click keys, and I have not discovered how to remap these (DoubleCommand wasn't much help there...)

Overall it's a great purchase though. Got mine from Newegg (cheaper than Amazon).

Why not an old iPhone or iPod Touch (if you have one, say if you upgraded) and Air Mouse? It uses wifi now, but will use Bluetooth with v. 3.0 of the iPhone software according to their page.

I'm using Air Mouse right now on a 2g ipod touch with my new mac mini. It works pretty well, and the acceleration is nice and feels very mac like. A lot of the other mouse/trackpad applets for the iphone/ipod are rather mediocre and PC-like. They have no acceleration models and behave rather herky jerky.
